The local water supply is only used for cooling. The steam generation is a closed system.

FDM parts have individual layers that allow liquids to infiltrate over time - especially when pressurized to 85 psi (typical household water pressure in the US). There are ways to seal the part with epoxy, etc, but it's not an easy process.

Interestingly, Vermont has a unique class-based road system. Class 1 roads are state highways, class 2 roads are main arteries and class 3 are secondary roads - all are supposed to be passable year round in a normal, road-going vehicle. Class 4 roads though, are another story. They're "ancient" rights of way, some…
Threads like that are the reason I love ExPo
It's not worth the effort
Nice - that's pretty interesting work. Always fascinated with jobs that require OCONUS field work like that.
What does your dad do that requires fieldwork in West Africa?
Yes. Assuming a 3500 lb car vs a 500 lb bike - that's 7x as much energy that needs to be dissipated. The additional rotors/contact patch of a car is still not enough to overcome that.
There's a similar, ongoing project called Project Remote. They are travelling the country and documenting each states' "remote spot" or "the point that is the farthest straight-line distance from a road or city/town."
It still requires a tool, which is the biggest advantage of this setup. One can say the "physics and forces involved" are similar for any forming operation.
Eh, not really. Metal spinning requires spinning the sheet metal and (typically) forms it around a mandrel. There's no tooling required here.
I'd compare this more to a forming/pressing operation, or even a high fidelity "CNC english wheel."
It's my understanding that 4 points will allow you to "submarine," where your pelvis will slide down and under the belt, crushing your vital organs on the buckle. This is why most harnesses are not street legal (although I believe Schroth now makes one that is DOT approved).
Comes either way...
I would love to know what "aircraft-grade nylon" is
That's not how pressure works.
No, you need to pump the working fluid (in this case, ammonia) to a higher pressure.

Did you try calling them?
FYI - you're mixing up two track names here. There's Oakland Valley Race Park in Deerpark NY (picktured) and Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ (which I believe you also posted).
